KEN BURNS PERSPECTIVES
Between 1861 and 1865, Americans made war on each
other and killed each other in great numbers – if only to become the kind of country that could no longer conceive of how that was possible. What began as a bitter dispute over Union and States’ Rights, ended as a struggle over the meaning of freedom in America. At Gettysburg in 1863, Abraham Lincoln said perhaps more than he knew. The war was about a “new birth of freedom.
– Ken Burns
Understanding the story of the Civil War is paramount to understanding who we are as Americans. In crafting a journey that takes you not only to some of the pivotal places where the war was fought – but also to places that explain the forces that shaped the conflict, as well as inside some of its most compelling stories – our hope is to share, inspire and educate – to help put the war, but also larger aspects of the American experience, into context. Far beyond simply battlefields, we’ve sought out places that tell stories… stories that are insightful, that go beyond the expected, that relate different perspectives, that show more than one side of a historical “fact”… and, most importantly, stories that are personal in nature, but are also woven into the larger narrative of America’s most tragic conflict and its greatest moment of crisis – one which, after four dire and costly years of struggle, ultimately decided who we are as a nation... truly, the United States of America.
